well yesterday was cd11 and pains started last nite.they usually last maybe 2/3 days.i used to think that they were periods pains until i researched for to get pg with dd1 and found out they are ov pains.but to my pleasure, i am beginning to get cm now and but mayb not enough though.
they are painful. at times like mild perionds pains.what about you piffle?

Piffle · 29/03/2006 14:52

fresco what day of your cycle do you get ov pains and what sort of pv pains? How painful and how long do they last you?

Piffle · 29/03/2006 14:51

From what I read, the first few minutes after sex, are when the sperm make their dash for it, I think AFAIK if the man stays "inside" for a few minutes is best, if the woman stays laying down for 10 mins is optimum.
Leakage, impossible to restrain methinks without standing on your head!

fresco · 29/03/2006 13:13

well ov pains started yesterday and hopefully this time i have normal cycles.
thanks peachy girl for advice.well hubby has been warned about this week that i will pester him for bed evry other nite at least.until ov that is and then every nite until mon.got to do the work hehe.i am not too much in a hurry though.dd2 is only 3 1/2 months.
can i ask you ladies: after sex, does it matter about leakage? did leak last nite but wondering if losing sperm will reduce my chances?any body knows?

I have not been regular about temping times tbh as dd has been so ill and sleep interrupted
But tmp has been quite consistent - today is a big jump donw, even given the lax taking of temps:)
Am sure I ovulate now, although as am using salvia scope def got ferns early in my cycle NO sign of any just now.
Bloody mystery this whole thing.

rubles · 29/03/2006 11:59

peachygirl, how do you find using it for contraception? does it become a bind? Do you feel confident with it?

peachygirl · 29/03/2006 11:55

rubles is right the temp rise should be consistent for at least thee day (thats what you have to count when using it for contraception)
just pottering o n for me but very early days for this cycle

rubles · 29/03/2006 11:12

Go girl!!

Piffle · 29/03/2006 11:11

well dp is working from home due to dd being ill so he's ... available all day!!!!!!

rubles · 29/03/2006 11:09

Piffle, I get a dip at ov time. If that is what it is, it is really helpful as it means you know in advance. The best thing you can do is bd as you have been doing and wait for a sustained temperature rise.

Piffle · 29/03/2006 10:34

temp has dropped today, big time below anything else all cycle, in Toni weschlers book it says some women drop a lot on day of ovulation, am on cd 15, do normally get ov pains cd 15-17 so that figures in too.
Have been bding frequently in any case Grin

hi Piffle, it could be like peachy says, mines gone up 1 to 36.70, but like i said at least it went up this month, hope it does same next month

Piffle you could have had what's known as a 'temp spike' if you had a hig temp on day 10 did your temp stay high? or did it go down?
Trace that good news about your rise

Piffle · 28/03/2006 20:30

I'd like to talk about it too - I'm so rubbish at doing it first thing I need a kick up the bum.
Have done it ok this month - it has pinpointed ov date on day 10 Shock yet I get ov pains on cd 16 normally of 29 day cycle.
I also am using a saliva microscope and have bought Toni Weschlers book so will be temping and charting properly from this day on.

Hi all
Fresco did I post to you before about evening primrose? this really helped my CM. people on here also drink grapefruit juice but I couldn't stick at it. sometimes clinics recommend robotussin cough medicne too
I'm on day 5 and 35.9 temp wise. we must remember that our temp rises after ov so lots of Bding before! when I last went to the clinic I was a bit confused and thought it happend when I oved the nurse said I was being too keen in trying to spot it Blush
